do you think that president obama should have scaled this back? >> he did scale it back quite a bit. i believe there were nine or ten inaugural balls in 2009 and this time there are only two. he has made an effort to scale it back. obviously some critics would say why are we having any of these expensive events that are celebrating when we really ought to be getting to work. but the flip side of this is there are many businesses that depend on a budget for this and this is a big event for them and they have caterers and planners and this creates jobs for a lot of people. there is a balance here and i think that's probably what the president has in mind. at least keeping two of these going. and people who work hard on the campaign obviously want to celebrate and look forward to the next four years with president obama. >> very good point. we'll talk to you in our 6:00 hour. thanks so much. >> we'll have extensive coverage of today's inauguration both on air and online here on nbc bay area. we're streaming live video from the nation's capital and ph

about one of president obama's nominee for the cabinet. the nominees for second term happen every day, usually around lunch time. yesterday, the president picked richard cordray, and he picked mary jo white to run the sec. today, dennis mcdonough was chosen, that is him two seats over from the president, right next to hillary clinton during the raid that killed osama bin laden. in his previous life, he headed the committee that authorized the iraq war, which could prove troubling at a confirmation hearing. but a chief of staff hearing is not the kind the senate has to confirm, not like, say, secretary of state. john kerry is the choice for that post, he had his confirmation hearing yesterday. and a greater love fest has never been seen before in something less than a p-g rating. honestly, the only surprise will be if it is not unanimous. and no, rand paul's vote does not count. really, there are just two nominations thus far that has annoy suspense with them. one is john brennan, the president's counter-terrorism adviser, he has many, many
